and very comfortable straight out of the box. Ran an off road marathon in them almost straight out of the box (3 mile trial run). Did the same race last year and trashed my feet in a pair of shoes I previous had no problems with. This time came back

on the multiple surfaces. Overall: I bought these shoes because I run in asics 11401's for slight pronation and these seemed to fit the bill for off road........they felt comfortable for my 4 mile test...I then asked a lot out of them by doing a 45 mile ultra race

heavier, more comfortable sibling. It should have a broader appeal than the Trailfox thanks to extra cushioning and a wider fit. It isn't as extreme as the Trailfox with shallower lugs better suited to harder-packed trails than a really extreme off-road

. They are superb for the first few hundred miles and more lately they have not been waterproof. this is my second pair and the latest one is a better build and a more durable shoe. the sole will never wear out as most mileage should be off road - more likely
